I didn't necessarily listen.
The grammar rules and parts of speech were laid out infront of me,
The flow charts and diagrams explaining proper plot development were too.
The teacher lectured and captivated everyone while I sat in the hard, uncomfortable chair.
Soon I felt restless and bored.
I rose and slipped out the door,
into the outdoors and up into the branches of a tree,
where I opened my book and began to read.
Inspired by Walt Whitman's "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer"
